Chapter 1152 The fatal blow(1/2)
The fans' expressions were even more intense, as if they were being lit. As Reinkell said just now, the worst situation of the year, Ferguson's only mistake was in this game.
Of course this is a hindsight. If Manchester United did not lose these three goals in a row, the ending would not be like this, but it is so magical now that they were chased by Sevilla for three consecutive goals.
This draw is too depressing and too cowardly! This does not conform to Manchester United's style.
They thought of Dong Fangzhuo again.
The king was gone, and without the helm, everything became panic.
Many people looked at Manchester United's bench. There are still many stars on Manchester United's bench, but if you want to find a star who can turn the tide? Then there is no more. Ferguson does not need a midfielder or a defender now, but he needs a scorer, but all the scorers are used up!
"Maybe it should be replaced by Lingard? This guy's spirituality may help Manchester United."
Lynkel suggested.
But Ferguson did not have such an idea. Instead, when Sevilla celebrated, he called Valencia and Ashley Young. Ferguson waved his arms excitedly in front of them, saying something exaggeratedly, probably asking them to press on the attack. Both full-backs can actually play as wingers. They were originally playing in the midfield and wingers, and there was no problem at all, but now they need to attack.
There is no one to replace the offensive players on the bench, so the only two guys can be suppressed.
Beep—
The final ten minutes of the final battle! Both sides reached a life-and-death stage. No one sat on the benches of both sides anymore. They all stood up to watch the game. No one could sit safely, including Dong Fangzhuo. He felt like fish on the chopping board, and his destiny could only be left to his teammates to control.
It was already obvious to Manchester United. Valencia and Ashley Young pressed forward from two sides, and basically two central defenders were dragging behind. Although the situation was not good, Ferguson, who was angry and embarrassed, still chose to attack instead of dragging the game into overtime conservatively.
If he retreats because of this, Ferguson will not be Ferguson, and Manchester United will not be Manchester United!
Di Maria took the ball on the left and pushed forward at high speed. Ashley Young behind her quickly stepped in, and it was about to form a two-for-one. Vitolo in the middle quickly rushed over and knocked Di Maria over with a flying tackle. Vitolo also received a yellow card.
Sevilla's defense is very firm!
"It's a pity that King Dong is gone. The free kick at this position is very good, alas..."
People miss Dong Fangzhuo infinitely.
Five meters outside the left side of the penalty area, if Dong Fangzhuo comes to play, there is indeed a high probability of scoring a goal, but he is on the bench, and Di Maria stands in front of the ball. This position is not suitable for him to play, so he should have to play tactical cooperation.
However, for Sevilla goalkeeper Beto, it doesn't matter who stands here. The pressure is much smaller than before, as long as Dong Fangzhuo is not standing in front of him.
Beep,
With the surging wall, Di Maria kicked the ball, but it turned out to Beto's surprise. Even with his left foot, Di Maria chose to shoot! His shot went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Very brave.
Huh, the ball flew out on the lintel, and almost made a small shot!
"This is this..." The Sevilla fans in the stands almost got scared of heart attack. If they were killed by Di Maria at this time, it would be too painful, but the goddess of luck was still standing on Sevilla's side.
After the ball was re-drawn, Sevilla obviously began to slow down. After finally equalizing the score, they became much more cautious. It seemed that Emery was already very satisfied with the score, and they could accept it even when playing in overtime.
But Manchester United can't do it! Ferguson still waved his arms on the sidelines, signaling his disciples to press forward and then press forward! Sevilla kept retreating, but after two speed defenders, Ashley Young and Valencia, pressed up, their defensive pressure was too great, and they kept stopping Manchester United's attack through fouls.
In the 89th minute, Manchester United got the opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt again, but this time it changed to the right. Di Maria was still taking the free kick.
"Without King Dong, a free kick is a waste... If he was still on the court, would Sevilla dare to foul like this? So it's okay if anyone is going to be the one who shouldn't have changed King Dong. Ferguson is asking for trouble for himself."
Di Maria, who was standing in front of the ball, took several breaths of air, calmed down her mood, and stared at the goal behind the wall. He also wanted to be a hero. Dong Fangzhuo was not here, so he, Manchester United's second superstar, should come forward to solve the problem.
Bang--
Draw the upper right corner of the goal with your left foot!
The expected shot, as the left-footed player, is the best shooting angle.
Like the shot just now, the ball almost flew out of the bottom line by the angle between the beam and the post.
"Aowu~"
"Aowu~"
"I can't stand it! It's a little worse!"
"Dimaria is not alive to score a goal, and both shots are a slight difference."
"Put down a little more, the ball will go in. If it were Dong, the ball will definitely hit the goal frame."
Sevilla escaped again.
Stop time is approaching, and the sign of the fourth official holding the flag shows overtime for only 2 minutes, and it seems that it is really about to enter overtime.
Ferguson and Emery have both returned to the coaching bench and started to study overtime.
Sevilla goalkeeper Beto slowly picked up the ball from the side of the court, and did not rush to kick the ball out. He assisted twice in a row but did not kick the ball out. At this time, if he could, he would drag it out.
The referee walked over to him and showed him a yellow card. The delay of time was too obvious. Even the fans in the stands could not bear to watch it, and immediately gave him a huge boo.
As a result, the ball from Beto's big foot was blocked by Rojo in the backcourt. Rojo immediately divided the ball to the right. After Valencia got the ball, he played two and one with Mata and continued to insert it at high speed!
Bang--
Banegas' figure hit him horizontally, Valencia was knocked away and smashed heavily on the billboard.
Banéga received a yellow card, and Manchester United's offense came to an abrupt end.
When the ball is released again, the regular time is over!
Overtime!
“shi-t!”
"The Sevilla is so hateful, and all these time is spent on fouls in the end."
"They succeeded, but they shouldn't forget that there is also overtime. Can they continue to play like this? I don't believe it!"
The players on both sides dragged their tired bodies down the court, and the battle continued. This was not the ending, and the more painful overtime game was coming.
When Mata returned to the side of the court, she suddenly fell to the ground and sat down. She screamed and got cramps!
Dong Fangzhuo rushed up to him and suppressed his feet. Lingard also ran over to help, but soon he was sent away by Ferguson. Ferguson wanted to use the third place to replace him, and he was the only candidate.
While the rest time, Dong Fangzhuo went to talk to Mbappe.
“Killian,”
"The opponent has no physical strength anymore. Now it should be your biggest advantage. You are a supercar now, and they have become classic cars. You have to play more resolutely. When you take the ball, you will know how to kill them in half a second."
"Opportunities will keep coming!"
"You must keep focusing!"
"You can decide on the game!"
Dong Fangzhuo patted his shoulders, inspiring Mbappe.
Mbappe showed a firm look, nothing is more inspiring than the inspiration of his idol.
There is only five minutes of rest, and after both sides have a short rest, overtime will come.
Manchester United replaced Mata, and the young Lingard came on the field, while Sevilla had already used up three substitutions and had no choice but to replace them.
Beep—
Manchester United took the lead in getting the ball, and Sevilla still retreated to the backcourt. It seems that they are still playing defensive counterattacks.
Soon they fouled again, Imobilera fell Schneiderlin and received a yellow card. They still used foul tactics to stop Manchester United's fast attack.
Dong Fangzhuo is not here, their fouls are really too out of line. When Dong Fangzhuo is here, how dare they foul them casually!
The game was played intermittently, and Manchester United's offensive rhythm was not as strong as before. After all, their physical fitness was also being consumed wildly. Both sides were similar, and in the end they were still stable.
In the 98th minute, Schweiingsteiger made a long pass on the left and tried to find Lingard, but Lingard's small body could not beat the opponent, and he didn't even touch the ball. He had speed, but he had no body. The opponent was just eating experience.
After a few minutes, Mbappe in the middle also got a chance. Fellaini headed the ball in the middle to Mbappe. Mbappe did not use his speed to directly break through the opponent for the first time, but chose to get stuck and distributed the ball to Di Maria on the left. Di Maria directly scored the goal with her left foot on the corner of the penalty area, but the ball was still slightly off.
At this time, Di Maria's combat effectiveness also decreased a lot, no longer had the previous speed of speed, the speed dropped a lot, and it was deformed when shooting.
Both sides have actually reached the end of their strength, but Manchester United still takes the initiative.
The first half of the overtime game was soon over, and Manchester United was still trying to attack. Ashley Young inserted from the left and received a diagonal pass from Di Maria. Then Ashley Young immediately passed the ball to Sevilla's penalty area. Mbappe quickly threw away Sevilla's central defender and rushed to the left side of the penalty area to volley directly! But Beto's position was very reasonable, and he directly threw the ball into his arms.
At the end of the first half of the overtime game, the score was still 4:4 and there was no change.
There was no rest in the middle, and the two sides were exchanging directly for halftime!
"Will it be a draw?"
"If it's a draw, both sides will have a penalty shootout. In the 15th minute of the second half, I guess Ferguson won't dare to push up and attack."
"This game is really tiring, especially for Manchester United, who just finished the Community Shield Cup with Chelsea and then faced Sevilla in the European arena."
Ferguson wanted to attack, but the players might not be able to execute the tactics to the end. Everyone's steps became heavier and heavier, except for the players who came from the bench.
Lingard worked very hard, but he didn't have many opportunities to get the ball on the right side. Manchester United's offensive rhythm has obviously slowed down, and they also care more about the defense in the backcourt. It is not a particularly good opportunity, and the offensive force he invested is not enough. However, Lingard did not give up. Ferguson asked him to come up to increase the vitality of the whole game.
In the 108th minute, Lingard almost fought for the opportunity and faced Banerga head-on. Lingard decisively made a shovel. Unfortunately, after breaking the ball, he was still a little anxious and wanted to directly send the ball to Mbappe, but the intention was too obvious and the ball was cut back by the Sevilla player. But Sevilla did not attack and continued to advance slowly, which also gave Manchester United enough time to organize the defense.
The two sides continued to stalemate, with only a few minutes left before the overtime end, and no one could do anything to anyone. And Sevilla has not even shot until now.
The pace is getting slower and slower, and both sides seem to be reluctant to attack, and they all want to delay the time and then have a penalty shootout...
"At this pace, there is a penalty shootout. Both sides seem to have a tacit understanding now."
However, in the 118th minute, Lingard was still there. Lingard rushed from the right to the middle and rushed towards Cologne Deli like a ghost. However, Cologne Deli still passed the ball out and was not cut off by Lingard. However, when the ball passed by him flew towards Banerga, Schweiingsteiger snatched in front of Banerga and cut the ball!
To be continued...
